Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fluid machinery, in particular to an anti-surge volute structure, and more particularly to a turbine fluid machinery using the same. Background Art

[0002] Compressors, pumps, fans, turbines, etc. are all common working parts in the field of fluid machinery, which are of great significance to production and life. For example, centrifugal compressors can usually make the gas obtain a higher pressure. Centrifugal compressors are usually blade-type rotating machinery. The working mode of centrifugal compressors is usually that after the gas enters the impeller of the centrifugal compressor, under the action of the impeller blades, it rotates at high speed with the impeller, and flows to the impeller outlet under the action of the rotating centrifugal force, and is subjected to the expansion effect of the impeller, so that the pressure energy and kinetic energy of the gas are increased. Subsequently, in the expansion flow channel, this part of the kinetic energy is converted into static pressure energy, thereby further increasing the gas pressure. The turbine converts the high-enthalpy airflow from the upstream into a low-enthalpy airflow, converts the internal energy of the gas into kinetic energy, and thus drives the impeller's rotating shaft to output the kinetic energy into mechanical energy. Its main flow components include volute, nozzle, impeller and diffuser. After the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow enters the volute, it flows into the nozzle, impeller and diffuser, and finally the low-temperature and low-pressure airflow leaves the turbine and outputs work.

[0003] The fundamental reason for fluid machinery surge is that the airflow field produces local distortion at low flow rates, that is, when the flow rate is too small, the airflow first changes pressure at the impeller outlet and produces an airflow disturbance at the outlet. The airflow disturbance propagates along the impeller hub line to the impeller inlet. When it reaches the leading edge of the main blade, it is converted into circumferential distortion of the airflow outside the impeller inlet. This circumferential distortion is the surge phenomenon. The volute is a commonly used flow component in compressors, pumps, fans, and turbine machinery. The arrangement of its structure directly affects the frequency of surge. By designing the volute structure, the safe operation of the unit can be guaranteed and the unit's operating efficiency can be improved. It can be seen that it is very necessary to optimize the design of the volute.

[0004] Prior art CN201582209U discloses an anti-surge structure of a turbocharger compressor volute, which includes a compressor volute 1, a plurality of circular holes 11 are opened on the inner wall of the compressor volute 1, the direction of the circular holes 11 is basically consistent with the inlet air flow direction in the compressor volute 1 when the turbocharger is working, and the plurality of circular holes 11 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the compressor volute 1 in a circumference, and an annular groove 13 is provided on the inner wall of the compressor volute 1 at the tail of the plurality of circular holes 11, which connects the plurality of circular holes 11 with the air inlet 12 of the compressor volute 1. The plurality of circular holes 11 and the annular groove 13 widen the flow of the compressor and avoid the occurrence of surge and blockage of the supercharger.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned volute has design limitations, and only involves the design of some non-universal volute structures, and does not fundamentally change the volute structure. It has poor adaptability, large flow losses, poor variable operating performance, low efficiency, and high surge. Therefore, in response to these problems, the applicant proposes an anti-surge volute structure and a turbine fluid machinery using the same to solve the above-mentioned problems and improve operating performance and efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, an anti-surge volute structure includes a shaft 1, a hub 2, blades 3, and a volute 4; the blades 3 are installed on the hub 2 to form an impeller, and the shaft 1 passes through the volute 4 and is connected to the hub 2; it is characterized in that: the volute 4 is composed of a left-side inlet volute 41, a right-side inlet volute 42, an intermediate ejector plate 43, and an outlet shell 44; the left-side inlet volute 41 and the right-side inlet volute 42 are located on both sides of the intermediate ejector plate 43; the left-side inlet volute 41 includes a left-side inlet ring section 411, a left-side outflow section 412, and a left-side inlet portion 413, and the right-side inlet volute 42 includes a right-side inlet ring section 421, a right-side outflow section 422, and a right-side inlet portion 423; the intermediate ejector plate 43 has a left guide surface 431, a right guide surface 432, a middle guide flow path 433, and an outlet end portion 434 of the guide plate; the inner side walls of the left inlet ring segment 411 and the right inlet ring segment 421 form a concave and convex wave structure 5 along the ring segment; the middle guide flow path 433 runs through the left inlet volute 41, the right inlet volute 42 and the middle guide plate 43; a flow path structure that gradually contracts along the outlet direction is formed between the left outlet segment 412 and the left guide surface 431, and a flow path structure that gradually contracts along the outlet direction is formed between the right outlet segment 422 and the right guide surface 432; the outlet of the middle guide flow path 433 is located at a position where the leading edge of the blade 3 is close to the hub 2.

[0029] The shape and structure of the volute significantly affect the aerodynamic efficiency of the air. The fluid enters the volute through the left inlet 413 and the right inlet 423. The geometric characteristics of the volute will cause the distribution of the relative velocity of the fluid, which will affect the distribution of the flow state along the wall and ultimately affect the loss and efficiency caused by vibration. The volute in this application is different from the conventional volute in the prior art. After research, the applicant found that the quality of the flow wall structure design of the volute directly affects the intensity of surge. In response to the above problems, the applicant optimized the flow wall structure of the volute and adopted a double volute inlet flow. The double volute can be a symmetrical structure. It can also be an asymmetric structure, and can be combined with an intermediate ejector plate 43 for jet drainage. This type of jet drainage accelerates the movement of the fluid, reduces the residence time of the fluid in the volute, and reduces the impact of surge. In addition, the inner wall of the left inlet ring segment 411 and the right inlet ring segment 421 forms an undulating wave-shaped structure along the ring segment, which also makes the contact area of ​​the fluid in the cavity larger, reduces the possibility of concentrated surge occurring in a certain place, and reduces the impact of surge. The tapered flow path structure combined with the intermediate ejector flow path 433 is more conducive to accelerating the fluid flow and reducing the impact of surge.

[0030] Furthermore, in the radial cross-sectional projection of the volute structure, a curve formed by unfolding the wave-shaped structure 5 along a straight line on a plane is a sine function or a cosine function.

[0031] Furthermore, the curve formed by the expansion of the wave structure 5 in the left inlet volute 41 is a sine function, and the curve formed by the expansion of the wave structure 5 in the right inlet volute 42 is a cosine function.

[0032] The waveform surface of the sine function or cosine function plays a vital role in improving the flow state, which can help reduce vibration and stabilize the fluid flow state.

[0033] Furthermore, there is an angle between the inlet direction of the left inlet portion 413 and the inlet direction of the right inlet portion 423 .

[0034] Furthermore, the angle is between 30° and 60°.

[0035] The left inlet portion 413 and the right inlet portion 423 complement each other in terms of inflow, and their structural arrangement enables the fluids to complement each other when entering the impeller, thereby improving the circulation efficiency and reducing the possibility of surge.

[0036] Furthermore, the left outflow section 412 and the left guide surface 431 form a tapered fluid channel in the flow direction, the axial inlet width of the left inlet 414 is L1, and the axial outlet width of the left outlet 415 is W1, wherein 0.3L1<W1≤0.5L1.

[0037] Furthermore, the right outflow section 422 and the right guide surface 432 form a tapered fluid channel in the flow direction, the axial inlet width of the right inlet 424 is L2, and the axial outlet width of the right outlet 425 is W2, wherein 0.5L2≤W2<0.8L2.

[0038] Furthermore, the axial inlet width L1 of the left inlet 414 and the axial inlet width L2 of the right inlet 424 have the following relationship: L1≤L2.

[0039] Furthermore, the axial outlet width W1 of the left outlet 415 and the axial outlet width W2 of the right outlet 425 have the following relationship: W1 ≥ W2.

[0040] Furthermore, the axial cross-section of the middle injection flow path 433 is an elliptical structure.

[0041] Furthermore, the radial cross-section of the outflow end portion 434 of the ejector plate is in a semicircular, triangular or truncated cone structure.

[0042] A turbine fluid machinery, characterized in that it comprises the above-mentioned anti-surge volute structure.

[0043] The invention discloses an anti-surge volute structure and a turbine fluid machinery using the same, which comprises a shaft, a hub, blades and a volute; the blades are mounted on the hub to form an impeller, and the shaft passes through the volute and is connected to the hub; the characteristics are as follows: the volute is composed of a left inlet volute, a right inlet volute, an intermediate ejector plate and an outlet housing; the left inlet volute and the right inlet volute are located on both sides of the intermediate ejector plate; the left inlet volute comprises a left inlet ring section, a left outlet section and a left inlet portion, and the right inlet volute comprises a right inlet ring section, a right outlet section and a right inlet The middle ejector plate has a left drainage surface, a right drainage surface, a middle ejector flow path, and an ejector plate outlet end; the inner wall of the left inlet ring section and the right inlet ring section forms a wavy structure along the ring section; the middle ejector flow path runs through the left inlet volute, the right inlet volute and the middle ejector plate; a flow path structure that gradually shrinks along the outflow direction is formed between the left outflow section and the left drainage surface, and a flow path structure that gradually shrinks along the outflow direction is formed between the right outflow section and the right drainage surface; the outlet of the middle ejector flow path is located at the position of the leading edge of the blade close to the hub side.
